This collaborative new work on female genital mutilation/cutting attempts to answer the number one need identified by development experts surveyed on FGM/C: the need for more information on evaluated case studies that illustrate what is working and why.  Funded by USAID and produced by the Population Reference Bureau with FHI, The Manoff Group, PATH, and Population Council, this publication presents an in-depth look at three promising interventions: the Navrongo FGM Experiment in Ghana; the IntraHealth Five-Dimensional Approach for the Eradication of FGC in Ethiopia; and the Tostan Community Empowerment Program, headquartered in Senegal.  It also contains a valuable appendix on interventions on FGM/C abandonment and a second one on evaluated interventions.
